No, this license mess is non-free. In it, it says: "and the GPL-based source code must be made available upon request" A free software license cannot force a user to distribute source code except in limited circumstances (when a corresponding binary is distributed, or deployed as a network service). See the FSF's comments on the original nonfree Apple Public Source License: https://gnu.org/philosophy/historical-apsl.html There are other areas that make this beast non-free, but this is perhaps the most glaring. ~tom == Fedora Project _______________________________________________ legal mailing list legal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/legal
